Co-Founder & Owner

🌟At the end of 2022, on a holiday road trip together, we embarked on a collective journey to revolutionize health and weight loss. 💯

Amid our very regular health-related discussions, we’d like to share our frustrations surrounding the healthcare crisis we’re experiencing in this country.

Although already moving the needle through chiropractic care and nutrition, we realized the need for a more transformative approach, blending cutting-edge biotechnology with nutrition and lifestyle modifications to aim at weight-related health issues.🌱

💡 Inspired by this vision, we created the VIP Weight Loss System and launched it two months later, in February 2023.

We have not helped 1,000+ men and women lose significant weight, feel better about themselves, improve their lab results, and create long-term healthy habits.

Hi & welcome to our corner of the internet! 👋🏻 We are a husband and wife duo – We have three children, Miles, Maggie, and Marley. We cherish our time outdoors, enjoying activities such as boating and traveling, fostering a strong sense of family unit.

From a young age, Kim struggled with various digestive problems, which eventually led to the removal of my gallbladder at 17. However, this removal caused even more issues as my body readjusted to food digestion. If you have undergone a similar experience, you understand the challenges.

However, she started to feel better through her own research and diet modifications. She saw her body heal, which sparked her passion for health and nutrition.

She started to gather all the information and then altered her diet, eating regularly, prioritizing breakfast, and incorporating exercise.

A few years later, she enrolled in Iowa State University to major in Dietetics. During my college years, she had the opportunity to intern with a hospital in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, where she worked with dietitians and learned a lot. This experience led her to her first job as a dietitian for Hy-Vee.

On the other side, Dr. Nanninga's athletic background, coupled with his encounter with the transformative power of chiropractic, guided him toward a career in healthcare. After completing his college baseball career at Minnesota State, Mankato, he pursued his dream of becoming a Doctor of Chiropractic. In 2007, he graduated from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, IA, marking the beginning of his mission to positively impact lives.

The following summer, Dr. Nanninga established Discover Chiropractic in Des Moines, where he has been dedicated to serving patients in the greater Des Moines area and beyond ever since. His commitment to excellence is evident in his extensive training in modern acupuncture and proficiency in various chiropractic and physiotherapy techniques.

Today, they own their businesses and aim to help as MANY women & men fuel their bodies properly each day. Their ultimate objective is to bring freedom to all areas of our lives!

Let's begin your journey together and help you lose that stubborn weight!
